The Star Suite in Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve makes for an adventurously romantic getaway in Cederberg South – and a novel and hugely scenic spot at which to propose. Mail us.

MPUMALANGA
COMING UP ROSES AT A ROSE RETREAT IN HAZYVIEW

LIMPOPO
AT A WILDERNESS SPA

Hit the seafront in Umhlanga and propose on a legendary beachfront near an iconic lighthouse. The Oyster Box will not disappoint at any level. Mail us.
EASTERN CAPE
ON A CLIFF EDGE IN THE GREAT KAROO
